MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Peña, West, and Fonseca
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Peña
The cause is before the Court on its own motion. On May 15, 2026, appellant filed
a notice of appeal seeking to appeal a judgment or order entered in trial court cause
number 23-FL-50005-A. On May 19, 2026, the Clerk of the Court instructed the appellant
to remit the $205.00 filing fee within ten days from the date of the notice. The Clerk of the
Court also notified appellant that it appears she is attempting to appeal an order which is
unappealable. Appellant was further notified that if the defects were not cured within ten
days, the appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
On June 9, 2026, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant again that she was
delinquent in remitting the $205.00 filing fee and that the appeal was subject to dismissal
if the filing fee was not paid within ten days from the date of the letter. See id.
Appellant failed to cure the defective notice of appeal, failed to pay the filing fee,
and has otherwise not responded to the notices from the Clerk of the Court requiring a
response or other action within the time specified. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed
for want of prosecution. See id.
